Goody Two Shoes

On Saturday we took advantage of yet another beautiful weekend in the Northwest. (According to the local news the area has had thirteen straight weekends without rain). We decided to head a little south and a little east to Mt. Adams. The first part of the hike was through the forest and then we made our way into some mountain meadows. We finally had our first grand view:




We stopped for lunch after crossing Adams Creek and took in the views to the north.


On the drive out we stopped by Takhakh Lake for a final view of the mountain.


Next weekend we may head over to the Olympic Peninsula. It's unreal the incredible number of trails and hikes within such a short distance of our place. We don't have too many weekends left for hiking so we're making the most of them.

I am totally jealous of your surroundings thanks to my current urban flat-landedness. enjoy.
